Solution

The correct option is D Pascal

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid with the walls of the containing vessel too. A common application of this principle is in hydraulic lift, to lift the car. Here, a small amount of force applied to the small-area piston, which will be transformed into a large force at a large-area piston.

It is clear that the said principle is the statement of Pascal’s principle.

Thus the correct option is C.
